The Basel problem is a problem in mathematical analysis with relevance to number theory, concerning an infinite sum of inverse squares.It was first posed by Pietro Mengoli in 1650 and solved by Leonhard Euler in 1734, [1] and read on 5 December 1735 in The Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences. [2]
The splitting field of x 2 + 1 over F 7 is F 49; the polynomial has no roots in F 7, i.e., −1 is not a square there, because 7 is not congruent to 1 modulo 4. [3] The splitting field of x 2 − 1 over F 7 is F 7 since x 2 − 1 = (x + 1)(x − 1) already splits into linear factors. We calculate the splitting field of f(x) = x 3 + x + 1 over F 2.
The roots of the quadratic function y = 1 / 2 x 2 − 3x + 5 / 2 are the places where the graph intersects the x-axis, the values x = 1 and x = 5. They can be found via the quadratic formula. In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a closed-form expression describing the solutions of a quadratic equation.
In probability theory and statistics, the chi-squared distribution (also chi-square or -distribution) with degrees of freedom is the distribution of a sum of the squares of independent standard normal random variables.
The square x 2 of a number x is less than x (that is x 2 < x) if and only if 0 < x < 1, that is, if x belongs to the open interval (0,1). This implies that the square of an integer is never less than the original number x.

Malcolm X’s assassination may have been more consequential to the movement than King’s and on par with the losses of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 and his brother Robert F. Kennedy in 1968 ...
Suppose the outcome is 49 heads and 31 tails, and suppose the coin was taken from a box containing three coins: one which gives heads with probability p = 1 ⁄ 3, one which gives heads with probability p = 1 ⁄ 2 and another which gives heads with probability p = 2 ⁄ 3. The coins have lost their labels, so which one it was is unknown.
